“The king! It’s the king, who is here! It will be him who will lead the warrior!” Michael was furious. He red

at Kilian and alpha Winter. “You said the king will not lead the warrior, but he is here!”

Killian couldn’t believe this. “Are you sure?”

Michael scoffed. “One of our scouts saw it. It’s the king’s banner, it’s the king.”

The other five alphas looked at each other, they were restless, and it reflected clearly on their faces. “Do you think the reinforcement from the Barlukan Kingdom wille in time?” alpha Peeta asked. He had been fidgeting all the time, sweat started to appear on his forehead.

He joined the rebel because he was thete alpha Xaden’s inw, he cared about Jasmine and Adrian, that was why he was willing to help.

Moreover, he had no sessor, so they were talking about merging their packs together and put Adrian as the alpha from one big pack.

But at this point, the cost was too high for him to pay.

“They wille in time. We only need to hold back a little bit longer.” Killian looked at Alpha Winter. It was him, who had been corresponding with the people in the other kingdom. “Can I have a talk with you, alpha Winter?”

“He is no longer an alpha, why do you keep addressing him as such?” Alpha Liam furrowed his brows. “And why do you need to talk with him alone when all of us are here? Talk here so we can hear it too.”

Killian narrowed his eyes. “He is still the alpha. No matter what you said. Even thete alpha Xaden is still the alpha when he died.”

And that statement shut alpha Liam up, it also boasted the other people’s trust in him. He carried the legacy of the previous alpha to bring down the royal.

Not only that, his statement made alpha Winter trusted him even more. It was a great move from Killian.

If only he could talk over on everything, this battle wouldn’t happen in the first ce.

And in the end of the meeting, it was not really productive. They kept arguing over the same thing. But, Killian got his time alone with alpha Winter.

“We need to change the tactic. We are not going to win this battle if we go headfirst against the king.”

“Good think you finally realize the problem.” Alpha Winter poured him drinks. They had prepared everything for the final battle, but without the king as the leader of the warriors.

Therefore, they needed to adjust with their n.

“The king in the battlefield will be a great moral boast for all the warriors. They will charge like a madman because the king is there.” Alpha Winter drank his drinks in a single gulp. “Not to mention about the king. The Mad King in his beast form is lethal. He has the power to stop your movement by a sheer of his strong

Killian poured a drink for himself. He didn’t need all of this lecture, because he already knew it himself.

“Change the direction of the reinforcement to attack the pce,” Killian said, cut off the monologue from alpha Winter.

“What do you mean? Are you trying to suggest to kidnap Rania again?” Alpha Winter raised his brows. “Can’t you see what happen with you when you tried that trick?” He nodded at Killian’s blind eye.fn48d2 ?????? ???? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?/fn48d2

“No, I have a better suggestion.”

“Such as?”

“Retreat.”

It had been three weeks since Maximus left the pce, and she missed him so much. Her life in the past three weeks went uneventful.

After what happened in the dining room the other day, no elder hade to her and ask her to do something. The voice ofin about her as the future queen had ceased down too.

It also thanked to the fact that the king seemed more approachable every time he spent his time with his

mate.

Therefore, with such peaceful time, Rania increased her time with Karin, learning about medicine and whatnot. She was good at it, she grasped the lesson very fast.

“It’s such a pity that you are not a healer, mydy,” De said. She came over with her little sister, Dorry. Both of them were practically Karin’s apprentices now. “You are even better than me.” She grimaced when she saw the failed concoction that she tried to make.

Thank you. Rania mouthed, smiling at the two of them.

Dorry watched her with a questioning look. “Mydy, I think your tongue has healed, but why can’t you speak? Did he hurt your throat?”

Dorry was there when Killian kidnapped Rania, and she was tasked to keep her alive, therefore she knew that the man didn’t hurt her, if anything he was very anxious when she didn’t wake up.

De elbowed his little sister to shut her up, which made Dorry furrowed her brows even more. “What?”

“It’s not physical problem thatdy Rania is facing, but it is more of a psychological one,” Karin offered an exnation.

“So, she is too scared to speak now?”

Both De and Karin looked at Rania, as thetter mumbled. “You can say bso/b.”

“I am sorry, mydy, my little sister can be very ignorant,” De apologized on behalf of Dorry, but Rania bjust /bwaved her hand nonchntly, telling them it was alright.

And when Rania listened to their conversation, from the corner of her eyes, she caught someone.

It was ire.

She had been told that she was here and her destined mate was actually one of the senior royal warriors. But, she didn’t meet her in person. She saw a glimpse of her, but then Rania decided not ito /iapproach ire.

There was nothing for them to talk about. Everything that transpired between them was none of their fault.

“Can I talk with you?” ire asked.
